Umtiti looks jacked.

Don't think this is a penalty.

The second team is getting results while the rested first team is bottling it in La Liga.

Don't know where the rumour of that good fee comes from. Messi wanted to leave for free and City would have signed him if he was free, but they were not prepared to pay a fee for him. I couldn't agree more to everything else you wrote in that post.

Trincao should get game after game and chances after chances. After sticking to Messi and Griezmann who bottled every chance they got in the first months they can also give a run of games to young, inexperienced Trincao until he finds his scoring boots. The moment the coach at Braga started him...

Play him as a #10 behind the striker or don't play him at all. It's a pity all of the real wingers are injured.

I'd say the line-up from last week against Kiev proved that they earn another start.

I think it works in games against bad teams like yesterday, since both Alba and Dest could bomb forward offering the necessary width which created space for 3 No. 10s with Braithwaite making smart runs keeping CBs busy. However, I don't think this will be a good line-up in CL knockout games...

I agree that a lot in this forum is either black or white. Regarding 3 No. 10s: Koeman is experimenting a lot and we still don't know his first eleven or if he even has a preferred one. There will be games when 3 No. 10s will be just fine and there will be games when it is better to play with...

On a negative note, he has 4 goals and 2 assists in 12 games. On a positive note, he has 4 goals and 2 assists in his last 6 games.

Have to admit that I have expected much more of him after that half-assed campaign in 2015. I'm disappointed.

That's what I was trying to say. Araujo and Mingueza both are faster than Pique and Lenglet, Araujo probably the fastest in the squad right after Dembele. Btw. I like how Koeman is handling youngsters:

Mingo - Araujo will be an interesting pairing to watch, especially against counter-attacking teams. Of course they will make mistakes, but I always felt that the lack of pace of both Lenglet and Pique hurt the team. Maybe the club can learn something out of it and that Garcia is not exactly what...

Time for Hollywood. Trincao RB, Dembele RW.

I guess he was told by Koeman to play it safe. Pjanic had the more advanced role.

Laporta will present his candidacy on Monday morning according to Alfredo Martinez https://twitter.com/Alfremartinezz/status/1331616646499340288

At this point everything is speculation. We'll see if his campaign is crap. I doubt it is. I'm sure his half-arsed 2015 campaign hurt his ego and he'll do everything that this won't happen again. He has the necessary charisma and can benefit from his network in a sporting and a political sense...

Although Font is the dominating figure in (social) media, he is not that known in Catalonia. Don't underestimate this when it comes to Socios. Laporta is much more known and the one who brought Pep, had the most successful presidency when it comes to titles, ... Don't let yourself distract...
